Globally, more people have been displaced today than at any time since World War II. Each year thousands of survivors fleeing torture, persecution and other human rights abuses seek safety in the U.S. and are faced with the complex and restrictive U.S. immigration process, forced to prove their suffering in order to gain protection from future harm. Through the lens of HealthRight International's Human Rights Clinic (HRC), this webinar will focus on the many roles that social workers can play in assisting and bearing witness to immigrant survivors' experiences as they seek asylum and other immigration relief--from providing evaluations to document trauma and abuse, offering expert testimony in immigration proceedings, assessing and linking survivors with needed medical, mental health and psychosocial supports, and advocating for survivors' needs at all levels.
